nostr:npub175hdheqn0arfdgywe9n2rze5eaf0j2mlz0xp5kq30vy57jqsncdqy2tpe9 inspired me to do a 7 day fast…
I’m on day 2.
Studies show that on a 7 day water fast you prevent any chances of getting cancer FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE by 87%.
1 day down, 6 to go 👏🏻 
I'm about 52 hrs into one.
Took some niacin & then spent 40 mins in a sauna today. I learned that it's hard to meditate in a sauna.
This has been a bit off a detox fast.
I won't be doing a 7 day though - a brisket is dry brining in the fridge. I'll slow cook & smoke it tomorrow.
The best thing about a fast is breakfast. Hunger is the best sauce!
The worst thing is not being able to sleep.
🧡🤙
Do you ever get headaches? That always seems to derail me after a couple days, despite lots of water and electrolytes.
I’ve never had headaches on a prolonged fast.. have you tried Himalayan sea salt added to your water? If not I highly recommend it. It could be salt deprivation that’s causing the headache. I get lots of headaches in my non fasting life, btw. It’s the opposite for me.
No but I don't give up coffee when I fast, just black tea because I don't enjoy it without milk.
Caffeine withdrawals result in a pretty bad headache for me.
As Buddha mentioned electrolytes (salts) are required to maintain hydration. I usually take a mix of potassium chloride, magnesium chloride & table salt when fasting.
The only symptom I've had this fast has been bile coloured liquid BMs. I figure that's my body's way of eliminating some built up toxins. It might also be from the salt water which is known to have a flushing effect (although not at the amounts I'm taking).
